Store all your Passwords on Your Mobile Phone

It’s 2009 so undoubtedly you have to remember more than just one password. And for security reasons, you don’t want to change them all to the same one. So, you could have your phone’s PIN number, credit card’s pin, e-mail password, twitter, eBay, WordPress, online banking, the list goes on and on. But obviously you don’t want to jot them down on a post it and stick it in your wallet. That would be foolish. Plus I’m pretty sure there’s laws (or at least T&Cs in your credit card agreement) that say you’re not allowed to keep your cards and passwords near one another.

So I offer SafeStore Gold as a solution. Basically it’s Java mobile application that allows you to store all of your information in one easy place. Of course it’s password protected but at least you only have to remember one!

For your peace of mind it has been spyware tested by Cnet and is available for download via their website here.

You get a free 15 day trial but after that you have to pay a small fee. Still, it beats having you bank account cleaned

Gogul to “Protect” Kids?

I’m all for protecting children online. There are a lot of unsuitable content, and indeed sick people out there. But I say most of that work should be placed the hands of companies who make content filtering software like Norton and of course the parents. It most certainly should not be the job of the search engines to censor results – in my opinion.

Recently, a search engine launched in Russia. It’s called, Gougle (ring any bells?). It filters our bad content such as porn and graphic or violent videos. But then it goes a step further and takes a leaf out of China’s book.

Gougle won’t let you access some of the accounts of horrible events in history such as genocide or evil people like Hitler. While I can see their thinking, I think they are making a huge mistake. If you hide history, what will future generations learn from?
